The boss reminds me of the dog Spike in Tex Avery’s MGM cartoons!

A lot of practical make-up effects guys thought that once CGI became
popular, their jobs were gone (people like Rick Baker, and the late Stan
Winston have embraced technology, but love the physical make-up effects).
However, they found that their jobs actually thrived. Many thought that 2d
animation would survive along with 3D, or even that the two might merge,
with one aiding the other. Sadly, a lot of studios have abandoned 2D, and
more’s the damn pity. It seems confined to TV only.

I agree, it’s a paradox; being this cartoon is a homage to Tex Avery. Tin
Toy had people scared by the “baby”. On the other hand, Pixar had other
shorts at the time.

Does anybody out there remember seeing this short aired on Liquid
Television on MTV in the early 90’s?

wow… So even way back then they predicted the threat technology posed to
traditional animation.

Between this and Tin Toy, I would choose this. Not that I really like both.
